Back-to-back Babe Ruth titles were on the line for the Farm Center as they needed one win Monday night in a double header with second place Nichirin at the Jonathan D. Hollingsworth Field at Lewisburg. The Chapel Hill squad had little trouble securing the crown and its potent offense shined as they scored in every inning en-route to a 10-1 five-inning, run-rule win.

After clinching the regular season Babe Ruth League title in the first game of a twin bill Monday night, the Farm Center had nothing to play for but pride and it shined brightly as the Chapel Hill squad blasted Nichirin 16-1 in the three-inning run-rule nightcap. Dustin Brashear had a monster final game for the Farm Center, going 2-for-3 at the plate with six RBI and a pair of homeruns, including a grand slam in an 11-run second inning.

The Marshall County Youth Trap Team (MCYTT) travelled to Nashville recently to take part in the 2016 Regional Competition at the Nashville Gun Club and the squad performed admirably. The MCYTT competed in all three disciplines that include skeet, trap and sporting clays.
